What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

What are you doing for tail lights?

 

Got some led trailer lights, they work as running lights, stop lights and blinkers. They work great . Haven’t had a chance to wire up reverse lights though.

 

I am going to give linking my rear a try. Do you have a build page so I can check out your rear setup just for shits and giggles. The way you have your upper links mounted to your axle looks interesting. Looks like a tube wishbone.....Did you do the work or did you have someone do it for you?

By the ways truck looks sexy

 

New to this killer site and saying hello. Just got a 04 Xtra cab TRD and gotta start somewhere so I started knocking scaling off my frame and all that happiness and fluid filming for CT winter. Doesnt look too bad but I don't know much. Just what I been learning here. Thinking I should por 15 but if that prep get messed up a little it's more issues from what I read. So yea wish me luck. So far can't put a hammer through anything I can swing at.

 

@Cid
Welcome! TW has knowledge, ideas & remedies! Good luck with your frame

 

Thanks to everyone's experience and write ups i was able to piece this lift together. OME 881/5100 combo etc... sorry about the poser shot haven't had a chance for any real fun yet. Overall very happy with the ride quality.

 

Poser shots are always welcome.

 

Nice rig man

 

Thanks man

 

Got a ways to go to get it up to tw standards but I gotta start somewhere

 

Cool views & truck ! The snows fun in

 

Beautiful country out there, looks like your pup is having fun too

 

You are the true bringer of snow. You're he reason the tour was such a shit show

 

How did you remove the complete handle assembly off of the shifter linkage? I took off the two screws on the back but the overdrive button wiring harness is keeping it in place and there's nowhere to unplug it. I want to swap a black 4Runner handle over too.

 

Looked under my friends truck today and saw this. #2nd Gen problems

 

Much appreciated. Yea my buddy has been on here a while with his 2nd gen and I been going with him to some the New England meets and everyone I've met been cool as hell. So got me some yota fun of my own. Stock now but not for too much longer.

It’s kindve crappy cause I’m not sure how to totally organize it and stuff and I wasn’t active for a while. It yeah it’s a wishbone upper link cause it’s 3 linked. And it’s a short course 3 link instead of the desert style 3 link. And one stop did the initial bed cage and then DB fab added to it, caged the truck, did the rear suspension and built my folding light bar. Thanks I appreciate it! She’s come a long way

If only we could say that was the case!

Looks like fun. It's always nice when you aren't in a huge rush and can have a morning fire!

 

I've been designing this bumper in my high school welding class. Should get around to building the thing in January.
